Mama, what's it like to be in love?
Oh, Mama, won't you tell me,
what's it like to be in love?
Is it the way my face gets red
every time he looks at me?
Is this the way love feels?
Why do I suddenly want to

Do you think he'll notice me?
Mama, help me with my hair.
It has to be perfect today.
Mama, does this make me look fat?
Does this make me look like a kid?
Oh, Mama, why should I care?
Mama, guess what happened!
He talked to me today,

Oh, Mama, isn't that great!
Is this what it's like to be in love?
Oh, Mama, won't you tell me?
Is this what it's like to be in love?
